Green Glitter Christmas Tree

Posted on December 1, 2023 10:12 PM by Julie Comment

An easy to make, glittery Christmas card that will surely catch the recipient’s eye! So sparkly w/ 3 shades of green glitter card stock, a gold embossed greeting & a negative tree die cut overlay.

It’s my turn to host the Inspiration Challenge (IC939) & we are visiting Crafting My Home where I found THIS display for my inspiration. For my very glittery card, I die cut two Kraft panels..1 large & 1 smaller. The smaller one was used to die cut a large pine tree & I used the negative portion only, On the larger background, I cut 3 strips in 3 shades of green glitter card stock & attached them across the front. I also cut a couple of extra smaller panels & also cut the tree out of them. Then I stacked them behind the top panel to give it some depth.

The greeting was gold embossed on the large panel & I added a small gold star on top of the tree. Pretty easy!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

A Christmas card with a diagonal split front using a new set and coordinating stencil, making it easy and quick to add color to the images. A matching die is great if you want to add some dimension or layer it onto a different background.

A big congrats to Korimu, the newest Featured Stamper (FS874)! She has a beautiful gallery & I chose THIS to case. I kept the layout & divided front panel, but I used different images & dies, different colors & made mine a Christmas card.

For my joyful bells, I stamped the image then used the coordinating stencil & the Color Fuse inks to sponge in the colors. It has a matching die, but I didn’t use it here. I took 2 leaf dies from a floral frame set & used them to cut the edge on a diagonal. After placing my panel on top of a larger green one, I positioned all the cut out leaf branches in place. I did some minor surgery on a couple of them to keep them from covering part of my greeting.

I replaced the stamped Joy of the greeting w/ a die cut Joy to help bring some of the red into the corner & also help balance out the image, size wise, & not seem top heavy on the upper right.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Christmas Mini Slimline

Posted on November 3, 2023 10:25 PM by Julie Comment

A 1 layer mini slimline Christmas card made with a few dies & modern color combo. Change up the color combo to customize for everyone on your list, then die cut all the pieces. You’ll have a stack of easy to assemble cards in no time.

It’s my turn to host the Inspiration Challenge (IC935) & I chose In Honor of Design & their Pinterest Board where I found THIS to inspire me.

My mini slimline card is pretty easy & clean & simple. I die cut the leaves & greeting out of heavy white & the holly berries & oak leaves out of red mirror card, then arranged them all as you see. Since my greeting die cuts are fairly large, placing them on an angle similar to my inspiration picture worked out great. Since it’s only one layer, it’s perfectly mailable w/o worrying about extra postage…just put it in a business envelope if you don’t have one for a mini slimline.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
